New Scientific Statement Guides Clinicians on How to Integrate Digital Health Tools Into Heart Failure Care
WASHINGTON, DC (January 27, 2026) - A new scientific statement provides clinicians with practical guidance on how to integrate digital health tools into everyday heart failure care - moving beyond isolated devices toward coordinated, team-based, and actionable systems of care. Published jointly by the Heart Failure Society of America and the American Association for Heart Failure Nurses, “Integrated Health Technologies in Heart Failure” outlines how clinicians can implement interoperable digital tools that support clinical decision-making, streamline workflows, and enable timely responses to patient data.
Rather than focusing on individual technologies in isolation, the statement emphasizes how integrated health technologies (IHT) can be embedded into existing care pathways, linking remote monitoring, electronic health records, and interdisciplinary teams to translate patient-generated data into meaningful clinical action.
